"Judging by the feedback we received from the participating schools, as well as the general public, the exhibition was a lot of fun and a success," Mr Dobson said.

"This year's exhibition will not disappoint, with an unusual theme to accompany the interesting artwork. After some brainstorming it was decided that this year's uniting theme would be that of a cave," Mr Dobson said.

The gallery director said the back gallery was unrecognisable.

"Featuring a myriad of different insects, bats, stalagmites, stalactites, a pond, pirates, and to top it off a huge bear with a baby cub," he said.
